#3Most startups simply don’t have the resources to figure out what to do to be compliant. I’m guessing that Facebook had a dozen lawyers working on this and even more engineers. This is only going to put up a barrier to startup creation and give large corporations more power.

I won’t shed a tear.
“My company is small and so can’t afford to manage our customers data properly” doesn’t hold water with me.
If this causes cull of a part of the current crop of companies and have them replaced with companies that are able to meet requirements them so be it.

Bullshit. For most startups, the recipe will look something like:
Write a set of scripts to pull user-related lines out of your database(s), write another script to sanitize the output, write another script to delete the lines from script #1 and act as the big red delete button.
This is giving large corporations more power? Seriously?

#6This sounds to me more like:
"Abusing your data is vital for our business model and we will stop our operations before you have the right to request information how we use your data"

#7And yet as soon as I clicked on their brand in the navbar I was greeted by 10+ redirects and a shady ad for mobile games (probably including malware).
Good riddance, you will not be missed.

That was my thought what Zuckerberg was after in the hearings in front of the senate.
"Oh we are bad and abuse our power"
Oh you want more regulations? Whoopsi.
Only huge corp's can finance that? Oh well.

Context: I'm currently responsible for GDPR compliance within a small corner of a Very Large Company.
I'm going to avoid making a statement about GDPR as a whole or about the OP, but I will say that I don't think large companies having an advantage at this phase is "bullshit."
One specific aspect of GDPR seems a good example of this. Third party data processors. If you use various third party products that provide tracking, testing, or other shims, you're responsible for ensuring export and delete of any PII associated data that flowed to those channels as well. Now, you can say the response is "if your partner doesn't have responsive channels, you have to pull the data" to make onesself compliant, but BigCos have the implicit advantage of being able to push the other direction, and get systems/functionality built into the third party product to allow them to be supported easier.
The amount of face to face time, support, and "deep touch" I can get with third party companies when compared to prior smaller corps is very apparent to me, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't make my task of ensuring GDPR compliance easier. Whether that translates to "more power", I don't know. But it's certainly an enabler.

#10GDPR issn't that hard to achieve. You simply need to follow the rules and fill out some "paperwork". If you are smart, you make your life easier with ISO27001 (don't need to certify, but build upon it).
